Canglan Realm, an endless sea of monsters.
The bright moon is high, the sea breeze is blowing, and the moon is bright and the stars are sparse at night, the small fishing village is as quiet and peaceful as ever.
The village has about a hundred households and is a gathering place for fishermen.
Over time, the small fishing village became a name.
There is also a market town on the island for fishermen to exchange their daily necessities.
The island is not big, several hundred miles wide, and is called Luoxia Island.
It is unknown where the name came from. The residents of the island have been fishing for a living for generations. The people are simple and self-sufficient. Although their lives are poor, they are content with it and enjoy themselves.
There were shouts and sounds of children playing from the seaside. It was the fishermen returning from going out to sea in the evening, and most of the fishermen's faces were filled with satisfaction.
Qin Tian is a member of this small fishing village. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, his body is quite strong. Because he went to sea with his father Qin De in the past year, his skin is a little dark due to the wind and sun.
His appearance is ordinary, except for his bright eyes, which occasionally reveal a hint of perseverance.
As usual, after putting away the fishing gear with my father and taking a few bites of the dinner cooked by my mother, there was a faint shout from outside the house:
"Xiaotian, have you eaten? Old Hutou is starting to tell stories again."
Hearing this, Qin Tian licked his tongue three times, licked the whole bowl of food, and then quickly rushed out of the door.
A woman walked out behind her carrying a vegetable bowl. She was undoubtedly Qin's mother.
She seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time, and she shouted dotingly:
"Go slowly, be careful of falling."
Qin Tian outside the house responded: "I understand."
Then he disappeared in a flash.
Just at this moment, Qin De walked in from outside the house. Perhaps it was the constant sea breeze and hard work that made this man who was over forty years old show some vicissitudes of life.
I saw him helplessly smile and said: "This child is not young anymore. He still likes some unrealistic things all day long. He does not have any formality all day long. In two years, he will ask Aunt Zhang next door to arrange marriages and start a family as soon as possible. right way."
When Qin's mother heard this, her almond-shaped eyes immediately widened and she said:
"How old is Tianer? That's all you think about."
Qin De shrank his neck and smiled naively as if he was a little guilty:
"Our old Qin family has only three generations, so we have to plan early. We are just looking forward to this boy to continue the family line. When the time comes, our old Qin family will also have a big fat grandson as soon as possible, haha...!"
At night, the sea breeze blows, and the faint voices coming from the house and the dim candlelight add a bit of noisy fireworks to this quiet fishing village.
............
"Speaking of last time, Immortal Xuan Lie was successful in cultivating Taoism. He was invited by his fellow disciples to go out to sea to hunt monsters. The two of them killed a sea of snake monsters on an unnamed desert island. The sky was dark, the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark."
On the beach, I saw half a hundred old men with unshaven beards, wearing coarse linen clothes, their messy long hair tied randomly with a shabby cloth, their old faces covered with wrinkles, their bodies hunched sitting on the beach, the whole image was weird, even Some sloppy old man.
Not far in front of him, there were more than a dozen children sitting neatly, as big as Qin Tian, who was already a teenager.
The younger ones, like Aunt Wang's daughter Erya next door, are only seven or eight years old. She has an innocent look on her face at the moment, holding her chin with both hands, staring at the old man without blinking, listening to the story attentively.
Next to him was a chubby young man with a droopy nose. Perhaps because he had just called Qin Tian to run over, he was still a little out of breath, but he also looked attentive.
This is Dahu, Erya's eldest brother, and Qin Tian's playmate since childhood.
Next to him was Xiao Qintian, sitting upright and not squinting.
And every time the old man glanced at Xiao Qintian, he couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Old Hutou, please tell me, how was the fight between Xuan Lie and the sea monster snake? Did you kill the monster snake?"
After hearing this, Qin Tian quickly stabbed the big tiger with his hand.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, an angry rebuke rang out:
"What a yellow-haired boy, how do you know whether to respect the old and love the young? You are also the one who calls me Old Hutou?"
The old bearded man glared angrily after finishing speaking.
Dahu curled his lips and said a little embarrassedly:
"Grandpa Beard, didn't I make a slip of the tongue in a hurry?"
Then a group of half-grown children started shouting at Grandpa Hu non-stop, and during this period they even flattered him, such as Grandpa Hu's profound Taoism and unparalleled cultivation.
After half a cup of tea, a certain old man's face softened and he praised:
"That's right! Children can be taught!"
Then he started gushing again with a proud look on his face.
"Speaking of which, the sea snake monster is extremely ferocious. Its bloody mouth is as big as a water tank...!"
As soon as the words fell, the children again exclaimed.
This old man Hu is an outsider. He was rescued by the villagers after he was in trouble and drifted here. Since the young people can remember, he has often told stories about gods, spirits, monsters and monsters on this beach.
"Dahuzi, second girl, you stayed up late at night and came here to blow the cold wind."
A sudden shout broke the tranquility of the night.
I saw a woman with a round waist and thick arms rushing towards me with a fierce momentum, shouting loudly.
After arriving at the scene, the woman grabbed the big tiger's ear and twisted it without saying a word. She yelled and cursed and walked towards the village.
Upon seeing this, Erya quickly stood up obediently, with a sad look on her face, and followed closely behind the fat woman.
Faintly, the fat woman's unabashed complaints could also be heard:
"This rotten old man just knows how to talk about monsters and ghosts to deceive children. He doesn't do his job all day long and is a fairy. Bah! If there is a fairy in the world, he won't show his spirit to get rid of the monster...!"
Hearing this, Old Hutou couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, smiled and then stopped talking.
After such a commotion, everyone got up and rushed home, fearing that they would be late and would have to be beaten with a stick.
As everyone dispersed, the beach returned to tranquility...
Late at night, the villagers went to bed early.
A figure sprang out like a ghost, then with a few clicks of footsteps, it quickly ran towards the coastal cliff, and then disappeared in the dark night with a few flashes.
Halfway up the cliff, there is a hidden cave.
When the black shadow stopped, a dim candlelight shone through, illuminating the outline of the black shadow, revealing an ordinary-looking young man with a hint of perseverance and maturity in his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, there is no doubt that it is Qin Tian!
It's just that the sharpness of his movement at this moment is completely different from that in the daytime!
After Qin Tian paused slightly at the entrance of the cave, he stepped straight inside.
I saw that the cave was not big, with a stone bed carved into the stone wall, a stone table and a futon, that's all.
At this moment, on the futon, an old man with a beard was sitting cross-legged and with his eyes closed. His face was pale and vaguely painful, and there was a red light flickering on his body. It was the old man with a beard.
After looking up for a moment, the attentive Qin Tian vaguely noticed that the old bearded man's body had become more stooped and his complexion had become much paler in recent times.
At this moment, the bearded old man on the futon suddenly opened his eyes, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out. Then his aura instantly dropped, and his face became even more pale and bloodless.
After about a moment, Old Hutou finally regained his composure, turned his head slightly to look at Qin Tian, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"You came?"
As he spoke, Lao Hutou was obviously not surprised by this.
Qin Tian did not dare to be negligent after hearing this, and quickly bowed and saluted with fists in his hands:
"I'm disturbing senior's Qing Xiu."
"It doesn't matter, you have been practicing martial arts with me for many years, and you have already achieved great success in secular martial arts. Now I don't have much time left. In one year, the Qianyuan Sect will open the mountain and recruit disciples. Are you ready?"
Old Man Hu asked in a hoarse voice with a hint of sharpness.
After hearing this, Qin Tian looked surprised and a little hesitant.
After all, he has seen all kinds of magical methods of the person in front of him, and Qin Tian has been yearning for the rumored cultivation of immortality for a long time.
It is true that the villagers only know that the old man Hu in front of them is crazy, doing nothing and not doing his job every day.
However, Qin Tian knew his true identity. He was the protagonist in the story of "coaxing" the child. He was a disciple from the Qianyuan Sect of the Immortal Sect. His Taoist name was Xuan Lie, and he was a high-ranking Immortal Master.
When he was about eight years old, Qin Tian was unfortunately attacked by a monster while playing at the beach, and was rescued by Xuan Lie who was passing by unexpectedly.
Since then, Qin Tian has been practicing with Xuan Lie to this day.
However, at the request of old man Xuan Lie, this matter has been carried out secretly, so the identity of Qin Tian's martial arts master has never been known.
The reason why Xuan Lie taught Qin Tian to practice martial arts naturally had a purpose.
"The matters entrusted to me by my seniors are very important, and I am not sure about them...!"
Qin Tian lowered his head slightly, his tone hesitant.
When Xuan Lie heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but it was not as strong as the previous times. Instead, his tone became a little gentle, and then he sighed miserably:
"That's all, I was killed by the Cao family's thieves, and I'm here to survive. I thought you were a talented person, so I gave you this fortune! As for revenge, I don't force it, I just do my best to obey fate!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian just breathed a sigh of relief, but his palms were already sweating slightly.
Having followed Xuan Lie for many years, Qin Tian knew very well that this man was moody and often crazy.
However, as an immortal master, his strength is unfathomable, so Qin Tiantian was afraid that his refusal would be too deep and he could not help but run away and hurt others on the spot.
As his mind turned, Qin Tian quickly replied respectfully:
"Senior, don't worry. After entering the Immortal Sect, you must do your best."
When the old man Xuan Lie across from him heard this, he seemed to have read through Qin Tian's mind, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then he reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a golden token and a sea chart and threw them to Qin Tian, who quickly reached out to take them.
I saw that the style of the gold medal was simple and exquisite, with the word "Qianyuan" written in ancient seal script on the surface.
The chart was made of unknown animal skin, with a crooked red line drawn on it.
"Senior, what is this?"
Although Qin Tian had some guesses in his mind, he still asked with a puzzled expression.
"This is the gold medal for receiving people. When you are a thousand miles away from Qianyuan Sect, someone will lead you to the immortal gate. The sea map is drawn by me. You can avoid many dangerous areas on the way. With your worldly martial arts attainments, it is not difficult to pass safely."
While speaking, Xuan Lie threw the storage bag in his hand to Qin Tian.
"In this storage bag, there are some of my remaining savings, which can ensure your initial cultivation. This item can only be opened after practicing spiritual power. You should hide it carefully and don't expose it to others at will."
Hearing this, Qin Tian was naturally overjoyed to take it, and he was also very grateful to Xuan Lie in his heart.
After all, he has longed for immortals since he was a child, and now he has this opportunity and is naturally grateful.
"Okay, I have said what I should say. You can leave. After I sit in meditation, you can bury me on the cliff."
Hu Lie said with a somewhat sad tone.
"Senior, I will remember your kindness and virtue in my heart, and I will follow your wishes."
Qin Tian bowed and left, feeling a little sad. After all, he had taught me the way, and people are not plants and trees, so how can they be heartless?
As Qin Tian slowly left, the cave returned to silence.
And Xuan Lie's wrinkled old face looked gloomy and terrifying under the dim candlelight. At this moment, he muttered to himself in a cold voice:
"Hmph! Sly boy, after entering the immortal gate, you can't do anything about it, hehe.........!"
Then he seemed to remember something unbearable in the past, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said coldly:
"If I hadn't fallen to this point, how could I do this helpless thing? Even if I die, I won't let you Cao family have an easy time!"
